Manny Villar bids goodbye to Washington Sycip

Washington Sycip was Manny Villar’s inspiration, mentor and apparently, one of his first bosses.

The Vista Land chairman and his family, sent their condolences to the loved ones of the departed Washington Sycip on Instagram.

“Wash is one of the persons who inspired me. After graduation, my first job was with the accounting firm he founded, Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV). Over the years, Wash and I would frequently share stories. He would send me notes every now and then. I consider him a mentor. He is an icon. His legacy will remain with us long after his death,” @mannyvillar said.
